A Fresh Look At The NVIDIA vs. Radeon Linux Performance & Perf-Per-Watt For August 2018

The Radeon RX 580 continues competing with the GTX 1060 in Deus Ex: Mankind Divided, which relies upon OpenGL under Linux. The RX Vega 64 meanwhile is still slightly slower than the GeForce GTX 1070 Ti... It will be fun to see where the GeForce RTX 2080 ends up comparing under Linux relative to the GeForce GTX 1080 Ti.

NVIDIA's Pascal GPUs already blow past Polaris and Vega with ease for performance-per-Watt and this situation is likely only to become even more green-sided with Turing GPUs.

The GTX 1080 Ti delivers 32% better performance over the RX Vega 64 with Dota 2 at 4K with OpenGL. The power efficiency of the GTX 1080 Ti is a 17% advantage over the RX Vega 64 or 28% when talking about the GTX 1080.

With Dota 2's Vulkan renderer, it remains a similar story.
